Emily Simpson spoke about her husband, Shane Simpson, during a recent episode of comedian Heather McDonald's radio show, "Juicy Scoop."

As Shane continues to grow on viewers, due in part to his hilarious commentary, Emily offered an update on his efforts to pass the bar exam in California before also explaining by the tensions between the two of them were so high during her first couple of seasons on "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

“He didn’t take it in July because it was virtual," Emily explained of her husband. 

"They have all kinds of like, weird things you have to do to take it virtually to prove that you’re not cheating and it was a lot," Emily continued. 

While Shane will have another chance to take the exam in 2021, Emily isn't so sure she wants him to. 

"I don’t know if he’s going to take it in February. I hope not. I don’t know if I can go through that again,” she admitted.

Luckily, despite Shane's failure to pass the exam, he has a stable career.

“He works for a law firm," Emily revealed. 

"He works in Long Beach. He actually, it’s his fiend he went to law school with. They’re talking about expanding or doing something else or some other kind of business venture. I feel like Shane needs to do something else but he’s very committed to finishing. He feels like he wants to take the bar to prove he can do it. But it’s hard. There’s so many memes out there of Shane not passing the bar. Do we have to add more?”

According to Emily, her drama with Shane on "RHOC" season 13 and season 14 stemmed from the fact that he did not want to partake in the drama-fueled series.

“For him, it was like, ‘I don’t want to be in a situation that could jeopardize our marriage, our family, [or] our children.' So those first two seasons, a lot of the animosity in our marriage had to do with him not wanting to film," she shared. "And then when they would film him, he would be pissed off because he didn’t want to. So I’m like, ‘Can you pretend like you like me?’ And he’s like, ‘No, I don’t want to do this right now. I don’t want to film.’ And there were other things going on. We weren’t getting along. It was a lot,” she admitted.

“He actually deals with all that social media stuff really well. He has an Instagram account. He has 100 followers. He’s never approved anyone else. I have people DMing me, like, ‘Will you please ask Shane to approve me?’ I’m like, ‘No, he won’t do it. He doesn’t care,’" Emily revealed.

To see more of Emily, her family, and her cast mates, don't miss new episodes of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 15 on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
